Some interesting (and some not so interesting) facts and records!

G.B.:
Oceania is a geographic region that encompasses most, if not all, land that is not covered by the five "main" continents (plus Antarctica). It is considered a "continent in name only" by a lot of people, for the sake of dividing the world's nations into six easy categories.
Australia the continent is officially the "sixth" continent, and school children in the 90's were taught a song that identifies "North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, Antarctica". Though Australia the continent pretty much only contains Australia the nation and New Zealand (and is therefore sometimes called Australasia), people in the past tended to rope in all of the Pacific island countries that didn't have a continent otherwise.
So, though Oceania is not a continent, it is used in place of one to make things a lot less confusing.
Lemontail:
Well, Australian shelf (the land when it was ice age) includes the New Guinea island, and the western part of New Guinea is occupied by Indonesia.

Answer: The Amazing Race Latin America 6, Leg 4. Number of locations: 1
Leg 3 of the race had teams travel to the city of Machachi in Ecuador, and after performing some tasks teams traveled to Hacienda El Porvenir for the Pit Stop.
Leg 4 of the race started, took place in, and ended in Hacienda El Porvenir. The entire leg was running distance inside of the property. It was a fairly large property sure, but still only a single, solitary location visited on an entire leg of the race.
Marionete:
Damn. Any idea how long the leg was time-wise?
